For the next few weeks, we are going to take you through our home, our Newlywed Paradise, to rooms and spaces that have not been seen on this blog.
Our Bathroom.
It is the only bathroom in our home.
It is the only bathroom in our home.
Even though it is small, it has a great vintage vibe! When I began house hunting in October of 2006, I came across some mega crazy color combinations in bathrooms! Gray and pink, blue and pink, even maroon and pink! When I stepped into this bathroom, I felt lucky.
Now, the bathroom did not look like the above picture when I moved in. It needed work. Unfortunately, I never took a before picture. Envision, flower wallpaper on the walls and yellow/brown marks covering the ceiling from years of someone smoking. Even the caulk was yellowed! Also, the mirror above the sink had a matching light fixture in olive green!
After much scraping, priming, and painting, the bathroom finally felt the way it should! Instead of replacing the mirror above the sink, I painted the edge white. We bought a new light fixture and accessories.
Features we love:
The sink. Sure there isn't a lot of counter space, but that is what that cabinet above the sink and toilet are for! This sink forces us to keep our clutter hidden and put away. I do hate that faucet, though. We plan to replace that.
The Tub Fixtures. I wouldn't change these out for the world! I know some of you may think I am crazy, but they just make the tub!
The Tile details. Who could resist the tooth brush and soap holders! Even the towl bar!
Things We Aren't so Crazy About:
The Shower Doors. We thought about getting new doors. The dark, tinted glass makes the space feel smaller. So, we discussed clear glass. Then my mom suggested we take the doors off completely and have a shower curtain.
The Bar Near the Toilet. An older woman lived in my home before I purchased it. That explains the bar. We plan to take the bar off and fill in the holes, but aren't sure how it would look.

This is where I need your help. What do you think? Shower curtains or new doors? What to do with the holes left over from the bar?
